Now cover the curd from cloth by bringing all the corners of the cloth together...
Step 3
Now squeeze the cloth a bit so that we can remove extra water (whey) from the curd.
Step 4
If we have time we can hang the curd for 2 to 3 hours...some people hungs the curd over night.
Step 5
I prefer to squeeze the curd which I strained in muslin cloth and put any heavy object on it so that further excess water can be removed..let it be for 2 to 3 hours..
Step 6
In the meantime soak the saffron in rose water or warm milk..for 5 to 10 minutes

Now check the curd..make sure that excess whey is properly drained...this step is very important for making our shrikhand creamy
